We had many books. And for me, libraries were a place to get my favourite books. I got older and did the things most people did. Then one spring and summer my life changed. I lost my wife and retired. I realized that I had more time on my hands than I had things to do. So I took a volunteer job at an organization that sent food, clothes and perhaps some hope to unlucky members of our community. It was, and remains, an excellent organization, but I didn’t feel a connection between it and me. I left. At the same time, I discovered that I was about to lose touch with an old, dear friend. Traditional methods of communication were out of the question. I had only a vague (模糊的) idea of what an email was, and I had no computer. As you might well guess, I had no warm feelings about computers. I had to choose: I could keep the attitude, or keep the friend. No-brainer. My little library in Camp Verde, Arizona was beginning a computer class designed for beginners. I learned how to email. Having no computer, I had to drive to the library most days to do my emailing. Over a period of time I attracted the attention of Alice, a worker at the library. She felt the library would be the perfect place for me to volunteer. She had a point. I was already there a lot and I enjoyed the people I came in contact with. So I volunteered. Over the next couple of years, I learned much more about computers in general and finally came to the point where I was actually able to help others with some computer problems. Imagine that! 24. What was the author’s childhood like? A. He often read books. B. He seldom went to libraries. C. He was born in a rich family. D. He liked doing things few children did. 25. What did the author think of his first volunteer job? A. He found it enjoyable. B. He learned a lot from it. C. He wasn’t interested in it. D. He didn’t think it was worth doing. 26. Why did the author decide to learn computer skills? A. To kill time after retirement. B. To use the library in a smarter way. C. To keep in touch with an old friend. D. To satisfy his interest in the Internet. 27 How does the writer develop the passage? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C By following the order of time. D. By following the order of space. C People’s tendency to follow trends, especially on social media, is definitely a common phenomenon. What does psychology say about trend following and is there a way to break free from the desire to follow the newest craze? According to psychologist Pamela Rut, following trends doesn’t fully show character weakness. Rather, it is an entirely natural behavior fixed firmly into humans’ basic need to belong to a social group and establish connections with others. Historically, following trends was critical for our survival. Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that early humans worked together to transport stone tools over long distances about 2 million years ago in what is now Kenya — cooperation that allowed them to survive in a bad environment. And though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a saber-toothed tiger (剑齿虎), human evolution has programmed our brains to be receptive to social signals. Another contributing factor the social cognition (认知) — the processes that determine what we notice and how we respond to others — largely takes place in the parts of the brain that oversee sight pattern recognition, decision-making, and similar functions. “Thanks to our humans’ complex cognitive systems, our brains are really good at identifying patterns and motivating behavior that communicates our social status. As a result, you can use almost anything to signal your membership or connection with a social group. Giving off the right social signals lets others know which group you belong to or want to engage with and those signals are monitored and interpreted by others. Referred to as identity signaling, these behaviors can range from putting a bumper sticker on a car to selecting a brand of clothing,” said Rut. Almost everyone follows trends in social groups, without exception. However, tweens, teens and young adults are especially likely to follow trends, including risky ones, due to their heightened desire for acceptance and belonging among peers. Therefore, it’s of great significance to guide them during their journey towards maturity. 28. What does Rut think of following trends? A. Risky. B. Strange. C. Reasonable. D. Funny. 29. Why did early humans prefer to follow trends? A. To expand their population. B. To show their great position. C. To remove mental weakness. D. To live through difficulties. 30. What is the hidden meaning of identity signaling? A. A great thirst for belonging. B. A true reflection of personality. C. Good taste in fashion industry. D. Blind pursuit of novelty. 31. What will the following-up paragraph most probably discuss? A. Insights into the coming trends. B. Parental guidance in kids’ future jobs. C. Psychology behind trend following. D. Tips on following trends sensibly. D For a vast majority of us, our smartphones are the lifeline. If it is lost, a lot is unachievable, such as getting guided to work and ordering coffee. This sounds like a nightmare (噩梦). But it should not be exactly far-fetched. Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this arises from our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful activities. While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has undeniably transformed the way we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-guided exploration. Over time, those who relied more on GPS showed a sharp decrease in spatial memory and problem-handling skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can result in discomfort. In seeking comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort. That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Regarding stress, a kind of discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better outcomes. Research shows that mild stress can improve adaptability. Neuroscience (神经科学) reveals that neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new connections — is sharpened through challenging experiences. This adaptability counts for developing resilience (抗逆力), a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort. But this doesn’t mean we should abandon comfort entirely; it’s to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as small and manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the resilience we’ve buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck? Choosing discomfort isn’t easy, but sometimes, it’s worth it. 32. What does the underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Likely to change. B. Certain to function. C. Unable to relate to. D. Easy to appear. 33. What may digital conveniences cause according to the text? A. The loss of thinking ability. B. The meaningful involvement. C. The lack of necessary comfort. D. The fast but insignificant relief. 34. Which is a real-life application of intentional discomfort? A. Exploring a city by using GPS. B. Taking the stairs instead of the lift. C. Writing an email using voice-to-text. D. Ordering take-out food after work. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To persuade readers to buy good smartphones. B. To encourage readers to accept discomfort. C. To urge readers to employ smart technologies. D. To remind readers to think creatively. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Green roofs can date back to thousands of years ago, long before modern residential buildings were developed. From primitive grass-covered roofs above caves to the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they remained an important part of architecture. ____36____. They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time. In the design of a green roof, there are key factors that count. The first step is to install (安装) protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. ____37____. It’s essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and costly. Next, a drainage (排水) layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. ____38____. Now it’s time to choose plant for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don’t need much water. ____39____. Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting. ____40____. It’s important to think about your budget. On average it costs $25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn’t include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. A. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs. B. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels. C. These features make them ideal for green roofs. D. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention. E. This is where the plants will grow. F. However, green roofs often come at a high cost. G. The layer also keeps plant roots from damaging the roof structure. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Whoobie was the smartest dog I have ever known.

I asked mum. "Vest Lady. She just picks up rubbish around here for fun," mum said. "Why would someone think picking up rubbish looking like a construction worker is fun?" I puzzled. For several years I'd witness this mysterious Vest Lady—rain or shine — on my way to school. I had thought she was crazy for picking up rubbish. Eventually I smiled and waved at her each time I saw her. Later, I moved to high school. The time I saw rubbish here and there I felt really annoyed. Then I'd think, "Why isn't anyone picking up this rubbish? People are so inconsiderate I" However, shortly after, I realized picking up the rubbish was not someone ease's problem. Now I couldn't walk past litter without feeling guilty. I volunteered to clean up rubbish around our school. Strange as it might sound, picking up litter was kind of a thrill for me! In fact, I was so determined that for my 17th birthday I bought myself a rubbish claw, reusable gloves and a reflective safety yellow vest with my own name on it. During my first attempt in my stylish equipment, met with unfriendly looks from others as if I were a criminal doing community service. One day,I had an epiphany(顿悟):"I'm acting just like Vest Lady!" But there was too much rubbish around, cigarette ends littered about, cans rolling on the street,pieces of paper hidden in the grass and plastic. alone was too weak J How would I get more volunteers involved in rubbish removal? A smart idea flashed into my mind. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon I created my website go picking up com. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ More and more people on vests with their own names. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 山东省实验中学2024~2025学年第二学期期中 高一英语试题 2025.04 说明：本试卷满分150分，分为第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，第Ⅰ卷为第1页至第9页，第Ⅱ卷为第10页至第12页。选择题答案请用2B铅笔填涂到答题卡上，非选择题答案请用0.5mm签字笔在答题纸规定位置上填写。考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题，共95分） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What language can the man speak now?

I mean what job could we get that would pay us fifty dollars an hour! That’s more than 80,000 dollars a year. Moreover, the working environment is also inspiring. W: And then? M: And then on the other side, the job is quite demanding and may require working for longer hours every day, so it’ll be hard to find time with the family. What should I do? W: I can see it. It’s true that you may feel stressed at the beginning, but just think of the future. With your rich experience in the field and the good support from the family, you could do excellent work if you accept the job. M: You’ve got a point there. I’ll think about that. 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 13. What does James say about the table? A. It’s beyond repair. B. It’s valuable. C. It’s too expensive. 14.

I think it’s a great deal. M: Yeah. That’s actually not a bad price. Once fixed up, it would be worth at least $70. It would look nice in Marie’s room, or you could even resell it. But who’s going to do the repairs? W: I’m glad you asked! If you can fix the legs, I’ll take care of the paint. We can work on it this weekend and put it in the guest room before my sister Beth’s visit on Monday. Finally, we’ll have something useful in there for our visitors. M: Oh! So now, you’ve created more work for me! I was planning on watching a football game with Tim on Saturday! W: No problem. You’ll have plenty of time on Sunday, then. M: Ugh!

Relatively backward. C. Increasingly declining. 18. What did Dieuveil Malonga do? A. He offered cooking courses. B He set up a website for chefs. C. He opened a Michelin-starred restaurant. 19. Why did Dieuveil Malonga give the example of Nigeria? A. To show the differences between countries. B. To promote his restaurants in Nigeria. C. To emphasize the diversity of African food. 20. Where did Dieuveil Malonga open a restaurant in 2020? A. In Rwanda. B. In France. C. In Germany. 【答案】17. B 18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【原文】M: The famous chef Dieuveil Malonga has visited 38 of Africa’s 54 countries, bringing back ingredients that add taste and flavor to the dishes served at his restaurant. Food experts have largely ignored this continent’s cooking heritage, with not a single Michelin-starred restaurant to be found on the continent. But that may soon change, thanks to the efforts of chefs like Malonga, who founded Chefs in Africa, a website devoted to promoting the region’s rising stars. He stressed the diversity of African food, citing the example of Nigeria, where one can choose from more than 20 dishes on any given day. Malonga was born near Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of the Congo. At 13, he moved to Germany, later joining a famous cooking school in Münster. After graduating, he trained at some of Germany’s top restaurants before moving to France to work. After falling in love with Rwanda, a country with a gentle climate — he opened a restaurant in 2020 there. The restaurant is not cheap. An average meal including drinks costs around $150 per person, but his customers are happy to pay for an experience that marries traditional African ingredients with modern techniques. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Thank you for your interest in The UCLA Health Volunteen Summer Program.

We had many books. And for me, libraries were a place to get my favourite books. I got older and did the things most people did. Then one spring and summer my life changed. I lost my wife and retired. I realized that I had more time on my hands than I had things to do. So I took a volunteer job at an organization that sent food, clothes and perhaps some hope to unlucky members of our community. It was, and remains, an excellent organization, but I didn’t feel a connection between it and me. I left. At the same time, I discovered that I was about to lose touch with an old, dear friend. Traditional methods of communication were out of the question. I had only a vague (模糊的) idea of what an email was, and I had no computer. As you might well guess, I had no warm feelings about computers. I had to choose: I could keep the attitude, or keep the friend. No-brainer. My little library in Camp Verde, Arizona was beginning a computer class designed for beginners. I learned how to email. Having no computer, I had to drive to the library most days to do my emailing. Over a period of time I attracted the attention of Alice, a worker at the library. She felt the library would be the perfect place for me to volunteer. She had a point. I was already there a lot and I enjoyed the people I came in contact with. So I volunteered. Over the next couple of years, I learned much more about computers in general and finally came to the point where I was actually able to help others with some computer problems. Imagine that! 24.

What does psychology say about trend following and is there a way to break free from the desire to follow the newest craze? According to psychologist Pamela Rut, following trends doesn’t fully show character weakness. Rather, it is an entirely natural behavior fixed firmly into humans’ basic need to belong to a social group and establish connections with others. Historically, following trends was critical for our survival. Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that early humans worked together to transport stone tools over long distances about 2 million years ago in what is now Kenya — cooperation that allowed them to survive in a bad environment. And though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a saber-toothed tiger (剑齿虎), human evolution has programmed our brains to be receptive to social signals. Another contributing factor the social cognition (认知) — the processes that determine what we notice and how we respond to others — largely takes place in the parts of the brain that oversee sight, pattern recognition, decision-making, and similar functions. “Thanks to our humans’ complex cognitive systems, our brains are really good at identifying patterns and motivating behavior that communicates our social status. As a result, you can use almost anything to signal your membership or connection with a social group. Giving off the right social signals lets others know which group you belong to or want to engage with and those signals are monitored and interpreted by others. Referred to as identity signaling, these behaviors can range from putting a bumper sticker on a car to selecting a brand of clothing,” said Rut. Almost everyone follows trends in social groups, without exception. However, tweens, teens and young adults are especially likely to follow trends, including risky ones, due to their heightened desire for acceptance and belonging among peers. Therefore, it’s of great significance to guide them during their journey towards maturity. 28. What does Rut think of following trends? A. Risky. B. Strange. C. Reasonable. D. Funny. 29. Why did early humans prefer to follow trends? A. To expand their population. B. To show their great position. C. To remove mental weakness. D. To live through difficulties. 30. What is the hidden meaning of identity signaling? A. A great thirst for belonging. B. A true reflection of personality. C. Good taste in fashion industry. D. Blind pursuit of novelty. 31. What will the following-up paragraph most probably discuss? A. Insights into the coming trends. B. Parental guidance in kids’ future jobs. C. Psychology behind trend following. D. Tips on following trends sensibly. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了从众趋势的心理原因及部分人群的从众现象。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to psychologist Pamela Rut, following trends doesn’t fully show character weakness. Rather, it is an entirely natural behavior fixed firmly into humans’ basic need to belong to a social group and establish connections with others. (根据心理学家帕梅拉・鲁特的说法，追随潮流并不完全表明性格弱点。相反，这是一种完全自然的行为，深深植根于人类归属于一个社会群体并与他人建立联系的基本需求中)”可知，鲁特认为追随潮流是合理的。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Historically, following trends was critical for our survival. Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that early humans worked together to transport stone tools over long distances about 2 million years ago in what is now Kenya — cooperation that allowed them to survive in a bad environment. (从历史上看，追随潮流对我们的生存至关重要。考古学家发现了证据，大约200万年前，早期人类在现在的肯尼亚共同合作，长途运输石器 —— 这种合作使他们能够在恶劣的环境中生存下来)”可知，早期人类追随潮流是为了度过困难时期。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中““Thanks to our humans’ complex cognitive systems, our brains are really good at identifying patterns and motivating behavior that communicates our social status. As a result, you can use almost anything to signal your membership or connection with a social group. Giving off the right social signals lets others know which group you belong to or want to engage with and those signals are monitored and interpreted by others. Referred to as identity signaling, these behaviors can range from putting a bumper sticker on a car to selecting a brand of clothing,” said Rut. (鲁特说：“多亏了我们人类复杂的认知系统，我们的大脑非常善于识别模式，并激发那些能够传达我们社会地位的行为。因此，你几乎可以利用任何东西来表明你属于某个社会群体，或者与某个社会群体有联系。释放出正确的社交信号能让其他人知道你属于哪个群体，或者你想与哪个群体交往，而且这些信号会被其他人监测和解读。这些行为被称为身份信号，其范围可以从在汽车上贴保险杠贴纸到选择某个品牌的服装不等。”)”可知，身份信号的隐藏意义是对归属感的强烈渴望。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Almost everyone follows trends in social groups, without exception. However, tweens, teens and young adults are especially likely to follow trends, including risky ones, due to their heightened desire for acceptance and belonging among peers. Therefore, it’s of great significance to guide them during their journey towards maturity. (几乎每个人都会追随社会群体中的潮流，无一例外。然而，由于青少年和年轻人对同伴的接纳和归属感的强烈渴望，他们特别容易追随潮流，包括有风险的潮流。因此，在他们走向成熟的过程中引导他们具有重要意义。)”可知，接下来的段落很可能会讨论如何理智地追随潮流的建议。故选D。 D For a vast majority of us, our smartphones are the lifeline. If it is lost, a lot is unachievable, such as getting guided to work and ordering coffee. This sounds like a nightmare (噩梦). But it should not be exactly far-fetched. Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this arises from our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful activities. While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has undeniably transformed the way we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-guided exploration. Over time, those who relied more on GPS showed a sharp decrease in spatial memory and problem-handling skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can result in discomfort. In seeking comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort. That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Regarding stress, a kind of discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better outcomes. Research shows that mild stress can improve adaptability. Neuroscience (神经科学) reveals that neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new connections — is sharpened through challenging experiences. This adaptability counts for developing resilience (抗逆力), a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort. But this doesn’t mean we should abandon comfort entirely; it’s to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as small and manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the resilience we’ve buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck? Choosing discomfort isn’t easy, but sometimes, it’s worth it. 32. What does the underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Likely to change. B. Certain to function. C. Unable to relate to. D. Easy to appear. 33. What may digital conveniences cause according to the text? A. The loss of thinking ability. B. The meaningful involvement. C. The lack of necessary comfort. D. The fast but insignificant relief. 34. Which is a real-life application of intentional discomfort? A. Exploring a city by using GPS. B. Taking the stairs instead of the lift. C. Writing an email using voice-to-text. D. Ordering take-out food after work. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To persuade readers to buy good smartphones. B. To encourage readers to accept discomfort. C. To urge readers to employ smart technologies. D. To remind readers to think creatively. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了过度依赖数字便利存在问题，鼓励读者接受不适。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“For a vast majority of us, our smartphones are the lifeline. If it is lost, a lot is unachievable, such as getting guided to work and ordering coffee. This sounds like a nightmare (噩梦). (对我们绝大多数人来说，智能手机是我们的生命线。如果它丢失了，很多事情都无法实现，比如去上班的路上有人给你指路，或者点一杯咖啡。这听起来像是一场噩梦)”可知，手机丢失后的生活困境听起来像噩梦，但紧接着用“but”转折强调这并非遥不可及的情景，由此可推测出“far-fetched”意思是“难以实现的；不切实际的”，与“Unable to relate to (无法理解；难以置信)”意思相近，表示这种智能手机丢失带来的严重后果并非完全超出想象、难以发生的。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“All of this arises from our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful activities. (所有这一切都源于我们对社交媒体和智能技术的日益依赖，这些技术旨在提供快速的缓解，但往往是以牺牲深层次的、有意义的活动为代价的。)”以及第三段中“While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. (虽然这些便利提供了短期的缓解，但它们可能会削弱我们的思维能力)”可知，数字便利虽然能带来短期便利，但可能会削弱我们的思维能力，即导致思考能力的丧失。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But this doesn’t mean we should abandon comfort entirely; it’s to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as small and manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand.” (但这并不意味着我们应该完全放弃舒适；而是要将舒适与有意为之的不适感相平衡。可以将其视为一些小而可控的困难，这些困难能让我们的心理和情感肌肉保持强健，比如用钢笔写字，或者用手洗碗)”可知，有意的“不适感”指的是那些能让我们心理和情感保持强健的小而可控的困难。结合选项，“Taking the stairs instead of the lift (走楼梯而不是坐电梯)”正是一种主动选择的不适，能锻炼身体，符合有意的“不适感”的定义。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是最后一段中“So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck? Choosing discomfort isn’t easy, but sometimes, it’s worth it. (所以，下次当你感到安逸的诱惑时，请暂停一下。问问自己：这种暂时的舒适是在帮助我成长，还是让我停滞不前？选择不适并不容易，但有时，它是值得的)”可知，文章通过讨论智能手机和数字技术对人们生活的影响，强调了适度接受不适的重要性，鼓励读者在追求舒适的同时，也要勇于面对和接受不适，以促进个人成长和抗逆力的提升。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Green roofs can date back to thousands of years ago, long before modern residential buildings were developed. From primitive grass-covered roofs above caves to the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they remained an important part of architecture. ____36____. They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time. In the design of a green roof, there are key factors that count. The first step is to install (安装) protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. ____37____. It’s essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and costly. Next, a drainage (排水) layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. ____38____. Now it’s time to choose plant for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don’t need much water. ____39____. Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting. ____40____. It’s important to think about your budget. On average, it costs $25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn’t include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. A. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs. B. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels. C. These features make them ideal for green roofs. D. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention. E. This is where the plants will grow. F. However, green roofs often come at a high cost. G. The layer also keeps plant roots from damaging the roof structure. 【答案】36. D 37. G 38. E 39. C 40.

I asked mum. "Vest Lady. She just picks up rubbish around here for fun," mum said. "Why would someone think picking up rubbish looking like a construction worker is fun?" I puzzled. For several years I'd witness this mysterious Vest Lady—rain or shine — on my way to school. I had thought she was crazy for picking up rubbish. Eventually I smiled and waved at her each time I saw her. Later, I moved to high school. The time I saw rubbish here and there I felt really annoyed. Then I'd think, "Why isn't anyone picking up this rubbish? People are so inconsiderate I" However, shortly after, I realized picking up the rubbish was not someone ease's problem. Now I couldn't walk past litter without feeling guilty. I volunteered to clean up rubbish around our school. Strange as it might sound, picking up litter was kind of a thrill for me! In fact, I was so determined that for my 17th birthday I bought myself a rubbish claw, reusable gloves and a reflective safety yellow vest with my own name on it. During my first attempt in my stylish equipment, met with unfriendly looks from others as if I were a criminal doing community service. One day,I had an epiphany(顿悟):"I'm acting just like Vest Lady!" But there was too much rubbish around, cigarette ends littered about, cans rolling on the street,pieces of paper hidden in the grass and plastic. alone was too weak J How would I get more volunteers involved in rubbish removal? A smart idea flashed into my mind. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon I created my website go picking up com. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ More and more people on vests with their own names. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Soon I created my website go. picking up. com. On the website I launched a rubbish removal campaign. I described my purpose－calling on volunteers to pick up rubbish. I posted pictures of rubbish littered about on the website,which could not only illustrate the severe situation but also show that a large number of volunteers were in great need. Besides, I shared the story of Vest Lady who influenced me so much. Surprisingly, my website gradually became a big hit on the internet. More and more people put on vests with their own names. Volunteers could be seen picking up rubbish in their spare time. The yellow vests made beautiful scenery in the park or on the street. With our joint efforts, the environment became better and better. What delighted me most was that people's awareness of environmental protection was improved. The rubbish removal campaign was a big success. Thanks to Vest Lady who rooted the sense of environmental protection in my mind, more people became Vest Lady. 【解析】 【分析】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者受到“马甲女士”的影响自己也开始穿着反光黄色安全背心捡垃圾，但是作者很快意识到一个人的力量是不够的，于是作者想到创建网站来号召更多的志愿者加入到清除垃圾的行动中来，获得了巨大的成功。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“很快我就创建了自己的网站go. picking up. com。”可知，第一段可描写作者如何通过网站来号召更多的志愿者加入到清除垃圾的行动中来。 ②由第二段首句内容“越来越多的人穿上印有自己名字的背心。”可知，第二段可描写很多志愿者加入清除垃圾的行动，环境得到了很大改善，人们的环保意识也得到了提高。 2.续写线索： 发起运动——号召——成为热门——改善——成功——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①描述：describe/depict ②阐释：illustrate/clarify ③影响：influence/affect 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprisingly/amazingly ②高兴：delight/please 【点睛】[高分句型1] I posted pictures of rubbish littered about on the website, which could not only illustrate the severe situation but also show that a large number of volunteers were in great need.
